Perl::Critic::Policy::RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusualDelimiters(3)
NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusualDelimiters -
Use only "//" or "{}" to delimit regexps.
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
Perl lets you delimit regular expressions with almost any character,
but most choices are illegible. Compare these equivalent expressions:
s/foo/bar/; # good
s{foo}{bar}; # good
s#foo#bar#; # bad
s;foo;bar;; # worse
s|\|\||\||; # eye-gouging bad
CONFIGURATION
There is one option for this policy, "allow_all_brackets". If this is
true, then, in addition to allowing "//" and "{}", the other matched
pairs of "()", "[]", and "<>" are allowed.
CREDITS
Initial development of this policy was supported by a grant from the
Perl Foundation.
